BLOG: Adult Education is Changing and Lifelong Learning is Coming Into Its Own
Adult education is shifting. While HR departments have moved toward skills-based hiring, studies show that many still hire employees primarily based on whether they have a degree or not, even if that is not a requirement listed in the job description. Educators are switching their thinking as well, finding alternative ways to “stack” classes and skills credentials to add up to larger qualifications and degrees. This has the dual impact of showcasing the actual skills a learner masters rather than focusing on a letter grade and degree completion. Lifelong learning and adult education are truly coming into their own, becoming the norm, and will change the way learners provide evidence of their skills.
DLAC 2024: Skills Visibility and All Learning Counts
Edalex will be at the 2024 Digital Learning Annual Conference (DLAC) in Austin TX between 26 and 28 February 2024 to discuss the use of educational technology in increasing student opportunities through enhancing their skills visibility:
With Credentialate, you can easily create, store, and share evidence of learning outcomes and achievements. Credentialate makes learners’ skills visible throughout the learn-to-earn journey. It surfaces skills in a curriculum so they can be recognised in a digital badge and shared by the learner as proof.
